You already have the cute trench coat and boots that go up to mid-calf, with fur cuffs at the top, for winter.

You already have the cute trench coat and boots that go up to mid-calf, with fur cuffs at the top, for winter.

Now here are must-haves and fashion trends for spring 2008 and beyond!

Fitted jackets and blazers are obligatory! They'll also look great during fall when it gets chilly and you need that extra layer. Bright colours are going to stand out this spring so rid your closet of drab shades.

Subtle argyle is definitely back! Look out for pink, red, black and grey as these will be staple shades. Don't go overboard though; subtle and simple are the key words this year for you to rock your argyle.

In accessories, wide belts will be a big hit, as will classic silver jewellery. Choose silver over gold in 2008!

Try pairing a fancy or colourful scarf with a v-necked sweater this winter or fall. In spring you can twin a thin fashion scarf with a pretty T-shirt as well.

Square tote bags are huge! They're pretty affordable and can be found at AE, Aeropostale and so many other stores.

They come in a variety of colours and designs, and are perfect for carrying your books around, or just taking a trip to the mall. Totes also look great with just about anything!

Remember, don't limit yourself to these trends. There's a whole year ahead, likely to be filled with new and beautiful styles that will dazzle you!
